Answer:

7.85sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

s(t)=16t squared​, where t is time in seconds. The height of a certain tower is 986 feet.

s(t) = 16t²

so when s = 986feet

16t² = 986 feet

t² = 986 /  16

t² = 61.625

t = √61.625

t= 7.85 seconds

Answer: t = 7.85seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Height of tower = 986 Feets

Function s(t) = 16t^2

To find the time t 8 in Seconds taken for an object to fall to the ground from the top of the​ building

16t^2 = 986

t^2 = 986/16

t ^2 = 61.625

Take the square root of both sides

t = sqrt(61.625)

t = 7.85seconds

A special 8-sided die is marked with the numbers 1 to 8. It is rolled 20 times with these outcomes: 3 4 5 2 7 1 3 7 2 6 2 1 7 3
Greeley [361]
The prime numbers on the dice are 1,2,3,5 and 7 , the theoretical  probability is 
\frac{5}{8}, which is 62.5%, the number of prime numbers in the outcome is 15, so the experimental probability is \frac{3}{4}, which is 75%, the difference between the experimental probability and the <span>theoretical probability is 12.5%.</span>
